Wistful accordion music and stunning shadow imagery swirl together in this visually and acoustically lush short film about two dreamers that unite in a quest to help others.

Based on Oscar Wilde’s short story The Happy Prince, the images in Swallow, Dear Swallow are all handmade and are a love letter to creative analog cinematography. 

With a simple, transforming set, elements of live puppetry and minimal edits, the viewer is transported to different places following the brave little swallow - evoking the magic of a live performance.
